Chapter 179: Battle and Escape

“These insects are indeed not ordinary.”

Zhou Chen understood that the danger he sensed from them was indeed true. With such speed and agility, they could easily dodge his energy attacks. Moreover, the huge sickle-like sharp limbs showed that they were the elites of the insects that destroyed this city.

“Rebound! Activate! Brutal Strike! Activate! Corpse Poison! Activate!”

Zhou Chen decided to go all out and instantly activated the three deactivated passive skills.

Swish!

A huge insect that was originally attacking Zhou Chen from the side suddenly flashed and arrived behind him. Its huge sharp forelimbs drew sparks on the ground as it suddenly stabbed upwards, wanting to cut Zhou Chen into two.

Zhou Chen relied on his perception to sense the direction of this insect. He jumped more than three meters high and dodged the sharp limbs.

However, this was not the end. When Zhou Chen jumped up, the other two large insects spread their cockroach-like wings and flew towards him.

“You can fly? I can too!”

It would be difficult for others to dodge the attack when they were in the air. However, Zhou Chen had Windrun, and he was able to dodge their pincer attack in the air.

The two black insects that attacked Zhou Chen from the front and back, collided because Zhou Chen had suddenly disappeared.

However, their bodies were tough and they were dexterous as well. They held back their strength when they were about to collide, so they did not cause any damage to each other, only leaving shallow scratches.

At this moment, Zhou Chen was dealing with the black insect that had attacked him on the ground. After he escaped the pincer attack, this fellow spread had flown towards his back again, its sharp and long limbs cutting at his neck.

“You first!”

Zhou Chen, who was being attacked by the three ferocious insects, forcefully turned around in the air and punched towards the insect's triangular head. The surging Eight Desolates True Energy instantly erupted, crossing more than three meters and striking the insect's seemingly not-so-solid black triangular head.

However, reality proved that he had underestimated the hardness of this insect's head. Its head was clearly hit by the Eight Desolates True Energy, but it looked like nothing had happened. There was not even a small depression, but its body leaned to the back, indicating that it had indeed been attacked by an external force.

“Looks like my energy skill is not strong enough. I can only fight in close combat.”

Seeing this, Zhou Chen knew that he could only rely on close combat to defeat these insects. Although the Eight Desolates True Energy was powerful, that was the limit. With its current power gained from four or five days of training, it was a dream to defeat these elite monsters.

He activated his Windrun skill and charged forward, closing in on the unbalanced monster, and punched its head.

Zhou Chen's attack was very fast and ferocious, and the timing was good too, so his punch hit the target, making the dark insect monster's triangle head cave in and deform slightly from his fist. Its body was also quickly covered in a layer of white frost which had some black tint to it. This was the effect of Freeze and Corpse Poison being triggered at the same time.

After this punch, Zhou Chen immediately moved away. Then, he turned around and struck the side of a blade limb behind him with his palm, knocking it to the side. The other two black insects had caught up and attacked from two directions from behind. He did not want to face both of them at once, so he dodged one and attacked the other.

He knocked away the monster's blade limb with one hand and quickly punched its head twice with his other hand, inflicting debuffs of Freeze and Corpse Poison on it too.

He immediately jumped into the air. While dodging another insect's attack, he kicked its head, sending its entire body flying to the side of the street like a cannonball and crashing through the wall of a building.

“My kick triggered the Brutal Strike, but I still couldn't kick its head apart. This monster's body is really tough.”

Zhou Chen knew how high his close combat strength was, and the damage after triggering the Brutal Strike was even more terrifying. But even so, he could not instakill this monster, and could only cause some injuries.

“Let's deal with them one by one.”

Because of this, Zhou Chen charged at the insect that he had kicked into the house by the street. He quickly went over to finish it.

He chose to finish this insect monster first because it was the only one who had suffered a Brutal Strike, so it was definitely the most injured.

After Zhou Chen charged over, he realized that the monster's condition was indeed not good. It had already burrowed its front half into the concrete ground, looking like it wanted to escape!

Seeing this, Zhou Chen directly punched and kicked it from behind, quickly triggering the Freeze and Corpse Poison, making it stuck in its burrowing posture.

During this process, Zhou Chen's perception was also paying attention to the two insects that had been frozen earlier. They had already broken free from the frozen state and were beginning to move towards him at high speed.

“It will be troublesome if I am ganged up on.”

Zhou Chen had no choice but to give up on this target and deal with the two insects that were already close to him.

He first lowered his body and dodged a sharp limb that was aimed at his head. Then, he rolled on the ground, making the other insect's forelimbs that were aimed at his heart miss.

He was able to escape from the encirclement of the insects, but by doing this, he had moved away from the insect that was stuck in the ground.

The two insects charged at him again. He felt that the space in this room was too small, so he sent a few punches of the Eight Desolates True Energy, knocking them back. Then, he retreated from this building to pull the battlefield back to the wide street outside.

However, as soon as Zhou Chen returned to the street, he sensed a strange situation: the three insects in the building had burrowed underground and were moving further and further away.

“Did they all escape?!”

Zhou Chen quickly returned to check. He saw that there were only three holes in the room. The holes were small and narrow, not suitable for him to enter and give chase. He could only let the three insect monsters escape.

“This is really strange. If I knew that they valued their lives so much, I would have fought them head-on.”

Zhou Chen felt that these three insects were different from ordinary monsters. Ordinary monsters were usually stubborn and would not flee immediately after realizing that the opponent was not an easy prey..
